My only contact with Mazda is when I buy oil filters from them, and the parts guy I deal with is never willing to share any insider information with a DIYer (at least this one anyway), even though I try to use a casual, friendly approach. And their parts counter is located away from the service area, so I'm also not able to make contact with any techs. But your rapport with them is apparently good enough that they're willing to give you honest replies to your questions. So it will be interesting to find out how much their opinion of the 4.4 hours changes a few months from now, after they've done this job a number of times.

Yea, I think its been a huge pain in the butt for everyone. No money really for the dealer to perform the tsb. But they kind of have to. It was again confirmed today that mazda is limiting this procedure to 2 a week per dealer. I am a bit surprised that this info hasn't been confirmed. I was under the impression this forum has a well connected member who has his finger on the pulse of this situation. Cant remember exactly though,........
I think

Valve stem seals can be changed with the head on. Pull the valve cover off, then pull the rockers & springs and they come right off. Close to how you would do it with the head on the bench, BUT the big concern is not allowing the valve to drop in the combustion chamber. Apparently the top of the Piston comes pretty tight up to the face of the valves because the tsb just says bring the Piston to tdc. When I've done this procedure I normally snake in a cord into the combustion chamber and then rotate the engine to get the piston to the top to compress the cord into the valves. Some people use air pressure but that's a little sketchy

Yeah I thought that was fascinating that they didn't do the intakes. Maybe it doesn't have intake valve stem seals. Some engines don't. Intake manifold is pressurize much of the time from the turbo so probably not an issue, took Mazda almost a year to create this TSB so I would think it would be a good fix

Regarding CX5 2021 Touring engine non turbo oil consumption.
This problem doesn’t seem to apply to non turbo models.
I have a 2021 cx5 touring non turbo.
The oil consumption burning is not true for non turbo models 2021.
Have monitored oil stick for over 6 months and no oil burning.
oil level still at full all the time.
